    She accused him of assault before but she lied about what actually happened but they made up after that, as she recanted her statement.

    Hmmm.....In view of the above my advice to you is to put rather a large mileage between you and this particular individual. Just in case this behaviour is repeated.

    Again either this is totally made up or your girlfriend is an abhorrent human being and deserves everything she gets. She needs to stop wasting the time of the police and womens aid. They have people in genuine need to help, not silly little girls who want to shag around, drink whatever and lie without consequences...

    She's not sure about what to do from here, as she doesn't want the former friend to talk about her in anyway shape or form.

    But I'm not sure what she can do from here.

    It's actually happened, the ex boyfriend told her brother about some of her activities and sent some pictures of her, out in bars and on holiday. He just didn't tell the brother about their relationship, but he's told him about other men she has been seeing. She's in a state now, because her brother is angry and he's saying she's embarrassed herself and the family.

    She's not sure about what to do from here, as she doesn't want him to mention anything else. She plans to go to the Police to get him arrested.

    But I'm not sure what she can do from here.
    She cant. She doesn't own the photos. The photos are not of an intimate nature.


    No-one can dictate to him what he says and does. Im not sure who you or she thinks you are, but you absolutely have no right to restrict his freedom of speech.

    While I appreciate there are cultural issues here, your g/f does need to take ownership of her own activities - no one forced her to go out drinking, or have sexual partners. Unless she seriously expected to live her social life in a bubble, at some point in the future, her family were going to find out that she was behaving as exactly as any other young person would do - living a life, having fun and meeting people.

    What would getting him arrested achieve? Absolutely nothing.

    Weird how these posts coincide with school holidays.

    To anyone else silly enough to think you can get someone arrested for sharing holiday snaps, you cant.

    Youve been told a hundred times here she cannot get him arrested.

    either you are

    a) not listening
    b) ignorant (to put it politely)
    c) thinking if you ask the same question 20 times you will get a different answer
    d) trolling.

    Sorry but I'm not trolling just wondering if that was an offence, linked to harassment
